Figure 7.
SAR images generated with highlight of the artificial targets.
SAR images generated from the scene of Figure 6(a)
are shown in Figure 7. First target is spotted at a distance
of 1268.10 m from the GBSAR station, whereas the second
target can be clearly identified at a distance of
1253.25 m from the GBSAR system. It can be observed
that the location of the trihedral coincides with the measurement
setup described in the first paragraph of this
section.
In order to verify the deformation detection capability
of the GBSAR system, the tuneable trihedral corner reflector
is adjusted by 0.5 mm per step to simulate the changes
of the surface deformation. With a different step size of
tuning, the corresponding SAR return echo is captured
and an SLC image is generated. The phase extracted via
interferogram is corrected by taking into consideration the
phase errors contributed by atmospheric effect, the predicted
phase noise using t-distribution, and mechanical
misalign of ground-based SAR system.
Figure 8 shows the measurement results obtained via
this outdoor field measurement. The y-axis of the graph is
the measured displacement based on the phase change of
the received signal and x-axis of the graph corresponds to
the position of actual displacement of the tuneable trihedral.
In this experiment, total of ten steps with each step
equivalent to 0.5 mm of the deformation changes have
been tested. It can be observed that the developed GBSAR
system is capable to perform change detection of 0.5 mm.
Figure 9 illustrates the observations of the surface deformation
of 0.5 mm via the tuning trihedral. It is clearly
shown that the 0.5 mm deformation can be detected via
the interferometric phase extracted from the SAR images.
With the submillimeter deformation capability, this system
is suitable to use for the land deformation study and
landslide monitoring in Malaysia.
MANMADESTRUCTURALMONITORING
The developed GBSAR system can be used for man-made
structural health monitoring as well. In this experiment,
the radar system was set up to monitor Cingpu Metro Station,
Taiwan. The photograph of the metro station with
radar setup is shown in Figure 10. The SAR amplitude
image generated is overlaid with the Google optical image
and shown in Figure 11.
